The changes that aged care needs

The Aged Care Royal Commission asked for ideas about reform to the aged care system. Based on our experience as analysts of aged care, and as consultants who have listened to many individuals who use the system, we put together a submission on what we thought needed to change. Some ideas will be familiar to many - like uncapping supply - but others may be more controversial - like handing more of the power and control over to the older Australians who use the services. We also propose an independent services pricing authority, to support setting the prices to be paid for a range of human services (not just aged care). You can read our submission here.
